What would you do? (Football pool)

**Snugglebunny** · 14th November 2006, 02:02 PM

A foot ball pool was started. A new person went to draw the numbers, they put two 0 in one column instead of a 1 and 0. Since neither number came into play (the score was all 7/12, 17/26, 17/26 and 27/26) what would you do? Let the people who won have their money? Give everyone their money back or just keep that pool for the next game?

*NOTE: The 3d option should be redraw numbers! Sorry!

I choose give the people that should have won their money... Since the numbers that were messed up didn't come out in any of the scores.I would be pee'd off if I was the person who won 3 quarters and didn't get my money.

If the numbers that matter are only 7,2, and 6, what is the big deal about one column missing a 1?

**Snugglebunny** · 14th November 2006, 03:34 PM

Well if the scores ended in 0 or 1 it would be a big deal. I don't think its a big deal but some people are going ape sh*t over it. Saying people are creating their own rules etc. I didn't think it should even be a issue! I didn't think I needed "in case of" rules... It was a accident and it didn't hurt anyone, but man some of these guys can be real jerks about it

Now that I know that I did indeed read it right, Id definitely say to let the people who won have their money.

Give the folks the money. Did any of the complainers catch it before the game started...seems not.
The winners should be paid.

Now if your really into football (American style to clarify), Give me a yell next fall and I'll get you into an amazing one (Looks around for the heat). It's a season long thing.

**Snugglebunny** · 14th November 2006, 04:24 PM

Apparently one person did catch it before the game and told someone, however the pool had been given out already and there was no way to fix it in time (everyone had left for the day).

Thanks for everyones input! I feel better now
